[David Attenborough]We are a flexible and innovative speciesAnd we have the capacity to adapt and modify our behaviorNow, we most certainly have to do so if we're to deal with climate change. It's the biggest challenge we have yet faced.

[Bill Nye]The same thing that keeps the Earth warmCO2!May make the Earth too warmIt holds in heat Methane, Chloroflourocarbons, water vapor and Carbon dioxide - they all trap heat [Isaac Asimov]It is important that the world get togetherTo face the problems which attack us as a unit [Richard Alley]The evidence is clear[Nye]The globe is getting too warm[Alley]We can avoid climate catastrophiesWe can do this [Nye]We can change the world[Alley]Science offers us answersTo these huge challenges[Nye]It's one global ecosoystem[Alley]We can do this[Nye]We can change the world Every single thing every one of us doesAffects everybody all over the worldIt's one global ecosystem Warm, wet, cold or dryClimates all start in the sky When the C02 is high, the temperature is highMoving together in lock stepWhen the C02 is low, the temperature is lowMoving together (refrain)

[Richard Alley]Our use of fossil fuels for energy is pushing us towards a climateunlike any seen in the history of civilization Adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphereWarms things upThe rise in C02Comes from burning fossil fuels When you burn them, add oxygenThat makes C02 that goes in the airWe're reversing the process by which they formed [Asimov]We're talking about somethingThat affects the entire EarthProblems that transcend nations (refrain)
